Group, Abelian representation

We list here full matrix representations for several groups. Abelian groups are omitted, as their irreps are one-dimensional and hence all the necessary information is contained in the character table. We give C3v (isomorphic with D3) and C4u (isomorphic with D4 and D2d). By employing higher 1 value spherical harmonics as basis functions it is straightforward to extend these to Cnv for any n, even or odd. We note that the even n Cnv case has four nondegenerate irreps while the odd n Cnv case has only two. 

R = (i/ r) require translations t in addition to rotations j/. The irreducible representations for all Abelian groups have a phase factor c, consistent with the requirement that all h symmetry elements of the symmetry group commute. These symmetry elements of the Abelian group are obtained by multiplication of the symmetry element./ = (i/ lr) by itself an appropriate number of times, since R = E, where E is the identity element, and h is the number of elements in the Abelian group. We note that N, the number of hexagons in the ID unit cell of the nanotube, is not always equal h, particularly when d 1 and dfi d. 

A non-abelian point-group contains irreducible representations of dimension larger than one. Since the degree of degeneracy caused by spatial symmetry equals the dimensionality of the corresponding irreducible... 

We will first consider an abelian group, namely the cyclic group Zra. The pi s forming a regular representation commute with each other and... 

Let G — G be a morphism of finite flat group schemes over S. The sheaves of abelian groups Ker(< ), Im(< ) and Coker(< ) are in general not representable by finite flat group schemes over 5. However, if one of them is so representable then they all are. Such a will be called admissible. 

Consider an Abelian group of order h. Since the group is Abelian, it has h classes (Section 9.2) and therefore h irreducible representations. Theorem... 

Consider Qn. This is an Abelian group of order n and therefore has n one-dimensional irreducible representations. These are easily found. Let to be the scalar that represents the operation C since C ( = E) must be represented by 1 in one-dimensional representations, we have to" = 1. Hence [Equation (1.76)]... 

Note from the character tables that groups having no threefold or higher proper or improper axes have only one-dimensional irreducible representations. This is because all such groups are Abelian. 

As noted earlier, a cyclic group is Abelian, and each of its h elements is in a separate class. Therefore, it must have h one-dimensional irreducible representations. To obtain these there is a perfectly general scheme which is perhaps best explained by an example. It will be evident that the example may be generalized. Let us consider the group C5, consisting of the five commuting operations C5, C, C, C5, E we seek a set of five one-... 

Prove that all irreducible representations of Abelian groups must be one dimensional. 

Explain why the point group D2 = E C2z C2x C2y is an Abelian group. How many IRs are there in D2 Find the matrix representation based on (e e2 e31 for each of the four symmetry operators R e D2. The Jones symbols for R 1 were determined in Problem 3.8. Use this information to write down the characters of the IRs and their bases from the set of functions z xy. Because there are three equivalent C2 axes, the IRs are designated A, B1 B2, B3. Assign the bases Rx, Ry, Rz to these IRs. Using the result given in Problem 4.1 for the characters of a DP representation, find the IRs based on the quadratic functions x2, y2, z2, xy, yz, zx. 

But successive rotations about the same axis commute so that the group SO(2) is Abelian with 1-D representations with bases (x + iy)m, m 0, 1, 2,. .., ... 

Hence, we see that the isomorphic representation of the group Hn becomes abelian. According to eq.(22), the classical observable B, that is a function of the phase-space variables (q,p), can be written as... 

If G and H are any abelian group functors over k, we can always get another group functor Hom(G, H) by attaching to JR the group Hom(GR, Hr). This is the functorial version of Horn, and for H = Gm it is a functorial character group for finite G it is GD. In general it will not be an affine group scheme even when G and H are Cartier duality is one case where it is representable. 

Theorem. Let G be an abelian affine group scheme over an algebraically closed field.. Then any irreducible representation of G is one-dimensional. 

Since 0(2) is an abelian group, all its irreducible representations are onedimensional. For any vector a)...
